Movie Bundle: video viewing worksheets and afterward activities

These resources can be used during a unit ( for example, on rocketry and the Space Race), as an emergency substitute activity at any point throughout the school year, or after the completion of state standardized testing (I've done all three). It consists of separate worksheets:

1. Questions that students should answer while watching the films. Questions are mostly lower order and focus on the film's plot. They are answered in chronological order of the film's plot for easy completion by students, and encourage student attentiveness.
2. Like/Unlike worksheet for after viewing where students can compare and contrast themselves to the characters in the film, and write short answers which can detail their developing intra-personal Intelligence.
3. Question Cards with Kagan cooperative learning structures fan-n-pick, or quiz-quiz-trade. These cards can be used to start the class conversation, or for comprehension checks in review. And they ensure every student is engaged. Quiz-quiz trade is a model of cooperative learning carried out by two students. Fan-n-pick is used for groups of four or more. Ss are paired, answer questions and exchange explanations using the cards until time has been determined. Directions for included, but there are no "right" answers.
4. Hands-on activities. For example, providing learners with a template to create a rocket that can be launched from a soda straw during a hands-on activity. Ss are challenged to modify the design to see how the changes impact the rocket performance. Length (or angle or force) can be changed–one variable at a time–to see how the rocket improves compared to the control design.
